Outfit: Pompom Dress with Tweed Jacket

We had a lovely Bank Holiday Monday and spent it at my parents’ home along with my brothers and their families.

As always, it rained and as always, my dad stood determinedly under a parasol turning sausages and burgers while my mum ran around doing the rest. It’s always such a treat to be cooked for and time with my family is very precious. Busy lives mean it’s rare that we’re all together.

I love this & Other Stories pompom dress and wore it last month during my wonderful weekend away in Liverpool on what was a lovely warm day. Monday was on the cool side so I added my jersey tweed jacket (The Henford from Joules), which is as soft and comfortable as a cardigan and perfect for the transition between summer and autumn.

I also have this jacket in blue, and at the time of writing, both are reduced to £59.95. The new season’s collection sees one in pale grey. I’m very tempted to invest because I have found my other two to be invaluable throughout springs and autumns past.

It is very rare that I wear my hair up, but my daughter, who has hair much longer than mine, loves to experiment and I am always a willing recipient of her skills. She did a loose French plait and a messy bun and I absolutely loved it. It stayed the day and it made a lovely change.

I’ve become increasingly interested in photography and I’m always looking for ways to make my Instagram feed look exciting. I often post additional photographs to those on my blog and where possible, make it as “insta” as possible.
